WINE ADULTERATION IN
FRANCE.

The chemist and druggist gives the
result of DR.. Magnier de la Sources in
vestigations into the adulttration of Frensh
wines. The average annual importation of
so-caled wine sold there amounts to 100,-
100000 gallons. The adulterations are
chiefly Water, alcohol and glucose, and the
coloring liquid is made largely from the
heavy DRESSINGS of dry grapes. More than
40 per cent. of the wines were so fortified,
during 1884, as to contain Is per cent of
alcohol; natural wines contain only about
10 per cent. Even of the very mild wines,
less than four samples in 100 contained less
than per cent. of alcohol. The conelu.
sion is that French people are constantly
demanding stronger wines and are growing
less particular as to delicacy of flavor.

CHINESE GGARDLINESS
The City Sewers Used as Means
Of Irrigation.

The Board of Supervisors some time
since received petition asking that the
Chinese gardens bounded by Oak, Steiner,
Pierce and Page streets-be suppressed
The petition was referred to the Health
Officer who, after examination, decided that
they were not continued nuisance, though
at times they might be Objectionable. He
recommended that the street be graded
through, which would do away with the
gardens.
After this the petitioners applied to the
Board of Health, and statements are filed
from Drs. A. G. Soule, David Wooster,
Joseph Simpson and John Nightingale, to
the effect that the gardens are nuisance
and the cause of malarial diseases and
diptheria in the neighborhood.
Accompanying these statements is a
petition from property owners that the
gardens are irrigated solely by sewage, and
that it is the custom of the Celestials to
block the sewer on Pierce street with sand
bags in order to secure sufficient fluid for
their vegetation.
The Board of Health is asked to have
the Objectionable gardens obliterated.

When Professor Mendelaieff was
descending in his military balloon
near Moscow, after observing the re-
cent eclipse, several peasants ran
out Of the vil!sge of Oderkof with
guns to shoot the evil beast that had
darkened the face of the SUM-" There
was general fear among the Rus
sian peasantry that the world is com.
ing TO an end. This idea was
strengthened by the curious coinci-
dence that on Sunday preceding the
eclipse the gospel appointed to be
read in the churches happened to be
the 24th chapter of Mathew, i'll which
occurred the prediction that the sun
shall be darkened and the stars shall
fall from the heavens. Ten days
after the eclipses in the province of
Perm there was remarkable fall of
aerolites. One piece of the meteoric
stoae weighed about quarter Of 8
ton, and caused an earth shock in its
fall like an earthquake.
